Turn knowledge
into results
Your team knows your business better than anyone, but do they have the knowledge & tools they need to turn that frontline knowledge into bottom-line results? As an experienced educator in cost & performance, I honor your team’s internal expertise by moving beyond ‘textbook’ training.
I design custom sessions aligning to your industry-specific challenges, ensuring that the people who know your business best are equipped with the tools to lead it. The length of the workshops ranges from 1 to 5 days depending on the topics covered based on your business needs.
Potential topics include:
Cost estimation ↓
Discover the best practices for your business activities to allocation indirect costs (like utilities, setups, and administration) to the cost object.
Decision-making ↓
Is it better to manufacture in-house or buy from a specialized supplier? When a customer asks for a bulk discount, do you know the exact ‘floor price’ where a ‘big win’ turns into a net loss for your cash flow? Does the maintenance and energy cost you more than the monthly financing of a new, high-speed replacement machine?
Can you reduce expenses by 10% without accidentally weakening your core operations? … All these need an examination of cost information.
Cost-volume-profit analysis ↓
How many do I need to produce in order to break-even or reach certain margin?
Controlling ↓
Moving beyond static spreadsheets to dynamic budgetary control and variance explanation. Are you simply tracking what you’ve spent against your budget, or do you know the true value of the work completed and exactly where your project will land at the finish line?
How do I approach this?
- First get-to-know moment, where I understand better the needs. Is there a match?
- Finetune the workshop and share materials in advance
- Interactive on-site workshop with blended-learning methods
- An online retrospective moment
